This book consists of solutions to 400 exercises, over 95% of which are in my book Mathematical Statistics. Many of them are standard exercises that also appear in other textbooks listed in the
references. It is only a partial solution manual to Mathematical Statistics (which contains over900 exercises). However, the types of exercise in Mathematical Statistics not selected in the
current book are (1) exercises that are routine (each exercise selected in this book has a certain degree of difficulty), (2) exercises similar to one or several exercises selected in the
current book, and (3) exercises for advanced materials that are often not included in a mathematical statistics course for first-year Ph.D. students in statistics (e.g., Edge worth expan-sions
and second-order accuracy of confidence sets, empirical likelihoods, statistical functionals, generalized linear models, nonparametric tests, and theory for the bootstrap and jackknife, etc.).
On the other hand, this is a stand-alone book, since exercises and solutions are comprehensible independently of their source for likely readers. To help readers not using this book together
with Mathematical Statistics, lists of notation, terminology, and some probability distributions are given in the front of the book.
